People & Places I Visit (in progress)

Tough theme, this week. I started thinking about what I've been doing for "entertainment"lately, and it came to me. Do you remember one of last month's topics, "Creamy"? Well, this is how it turned out:

Plain Guilt-Free Cheesecake

Over the last month, I've been working on low(er) fat, low(er) sugar cheesecakes, suitable to serve my husband, who was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, back at the end of March.

Guilt-Free Chocolate Marble Cheesecake

First, I'm delighted to tell you that, as of this writing, MJ has lost 50 pounds, his blood sugar has dropped below the magic "diabetes" line, and the doctor has cut his medication in half. He'll test again in another 3 months, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that the improvement continues.

What a great way to keep yourself entertained and also stay healthy. I may be pilfering some of those recipes - when I get back from my holiday I am going on serious antioxidant/get fit/lose weight regimen.
